Is the Gerber Truss worth it compared with a Leatherman?

The Truss costs less than most comparable Leatherman models and gives you all-outboard, one-handed tools and locking blades. Leatherman tools generally use better blade steel and have a stronger warranty reputation. Choose the Truss if price and one-handed access matter most.

Does every tool open without opening the pliers?

Yes. Gerber designs the Truss with all tools on the outside, so you can open any of them with the tool closed. The blades are one-handed openers.

Yes. Each tool locks open with a tool lock, and you release it with a slide on the handle. That makes the blades safer under pressure than a slip-joint tool.

What is included in the box?

The tool and a sheath. No bit kit or extra accessories are included.

How big and heavy is it?

It is 6.5 in open and weighs 8.4 oz. That is full-size multi-tool weight, fine on a belt or in a bag but noticeable in a pants pocket.

When is the price lowest?

Multi-tools like this tend to dip during fall hunting and holiday sales and around Father's Day. Check the price history chart before buying outside those windows.

Our take on the Gerber Truss Series 31-003305 Multi-Tool

The Gerber Truss is a full-size butterfly-opening multi-tool with 17 tools, all accessible from the outside without opening the pliers. It uses 5Cr15MoV steel for the blades and tools and single-piece steel handles, and it weighs 8.4 oz with a 6.5 in open length. It ships with a sheath. It is a mid-priced tool aimed at buyers who want one-handed access and a locking blade without paying flagship prices.
